Chapter 26
Random
Mary Macdonald
I am avoiding it all and its painfully obvious, part of me is a bit surprised no one has wanted to talk to me about … well my not-so-secretive-secret.
It's like they are… avoiding me, like I am avoiding the subject, but even thought I'm avoiding it I don't want them to avoid it because then it feels like they don't care and I want them to care I just.. GODRIC, I'm making myself dizzy.
"Mary?" of all the voices I had expected to hear today, this voice was NOT one of them; I hate that it gets my knees to grow weak and I have to tell myself to remember to breath as I turn around to face him – his affect on me is unfair.
"What are you doing here?"
His eyebrows rise as he looks around "In the hallway? Walking?"
I turn red, what the hell was I thinking asking that?
"I have been meaning to… erm talk to you." He says rubbing the back of his head with one of his gorgeous – No Mary! - hands.
"Oh?" I look up and put my hands on my hips to look more imitating, I've seen Marlene do this when talking to guys, she says it makes her look like she's in control, which is what I really need right now.
"I just… you are okay right?" he removes his hand from his head and rubbed it against the other hand like he was either nervous or deeply embarrassed.
"I'm fine?" I say, leaving it hanging like a question.
"Okay.. because well .. there were some rumors about you having a hard time and I was just hoping that it wasn't because of our breakup I –"
"Reginald." I say through my now really gritted teeth. "I'm fine and even if I weren't it would be none of your business, you broke up with me months ago and Merlin knows I'm over it so I'm not of your business now."
And with that I leave him and make a run for it up to the Gryffindor Tower, trying to tell my self that its sweat that's running down my cheeks and not hot tears. I hate him.
- Hunting For Happiness –
Lily and Alice want me to come with them to Hogsmeade, I'm not really all for it but I guess I have nothing else to do. Marlene and Sirius are pretty .. much always together now.
After talking again to Reg I'm a bit… shaken up. I hadn't talked to Reginald Cattermole in such a long time – not since we broke up to be honest and it was weird that he seemed to be all caring now.
Anyways so I need to get away from Hogwarts and I guess nothing bad can happen at Hogwarts so I agree to go with Lily and Alice.
That's my mistake number – what seems to be - seven hundred and one.
Lily Evans
The cold wind is what wakes me up - my eyes fly open but still I can't see a thing.
"Lily?" Mary's voice comes from somewhere far away.
"Lily? Lillian you need to look at me, I'll make sure you are okay, just answer me, do you, do you hear me?"
I give out a grunt that I hope she can hear, still not able to see anything.
"Wha-" I'm able to choke up before I find my throat closing and have so sit up and cough for a second, but my back doesn't seem to get very high up.
"Just lay back carefully Lils," Mary instructs.
"What's going on?" I force up and go to move my legs but can't, they are firmly stuck under something really heavy.
"Mary, what's on top of my legs?" I ask slowly trying not to sound scared.
"Oh, its nothing Lils, nothing than can't be fixed if you just say calm and still."
"I'm stuck," I say and look straight up at Mary that I can finally see clearly.
"I know," she says silently "Alice, James and Peter have gone to find help, you're gonna be just fine."
"Its just a table or something right?" I ask, "Its not some big deal."
"… It doesn't matter Lils, everything will be fine."
"Why do you keep saying that? Is something .. bad going on?"
"Nothing for you to worry about."
But there's something in her voice, I arched my shoulders up and look; on top of me was not a table. Not, that was indeed not a table, but part of what used to be a wall of the Three Broomsticks.
James Potter.
I followed Alice out of the Three Broomsticks – if it could be called that anymore, it wasn't even a house no more, it was just a big pile on the ground. And Lily Evans is one of the probably many people trapped in or under that pile.
"Where are all the Professors? This is like a graveyard," Alice stresses beside me, she has her wand ready and her clothes are rather ripped, my are just dirty, but I'm rather worried and Peter seems rather clueless to what is going on.
"Potter! Pettigrew! Prewett!"
I don't think I've ever been so happy to hear Professor Slughorn's voice ever. "Are you children alright?"
Professor Slughorn!" Alice cries out "L-Lily and some other students are trapped under the-the Three Broomsticks." She manages out.
"Lily Evans?" Slughorn asks making clear his favorsism. "Oh dear, we must get help now! You three come with me, I'm going to hand you over to Professor Sprout she'll take you to safety with the others."
Alice nods and we all follow Slughorn into some house.
"Minerva," Slughorn says as he spots Professor McGongall and hurries over to her.
Alice, Peter and I stand in silence for a moment until we hear Marlene's familiar voice behind us.
"Oh my god you are okay!" she excalims and jumps on all three of us.
"Marlene!"
I hug her back looking over her shoulder for her boyfriend. "Marley, where's Sirius?"
Marlene hesitates a bit. "I don't know, he came with me here perfectly fine, but then I .. I fainted and after that I couldn't find him anywhere, Remus is over there sleeping –" she pointed at Remus' sleeping body on a mattress in the corner. "Mostly everyone is trying to get some sleep, we can't be brought back to the castle yet." She sighs but fails at hiding her nervousness.
"But no Sirius?"
She looks down, "No.. I have no idea where he is James, I'm sorry –"
I pull her back into a hug realizing that's probably what she needs right now – or maybe I need it. "That's not your fault, Marl," I promise and kiss her head.
"Thanks.. wait.. where's Lily? And have you seen Blaire Vandever?"
I look over at Alice that seems close to tears. "We haven't seen Blaire, isn't she with Remus?" I ask to try to take the subject of Lily.
"No, he lost her at the Three Broomsticks," Marlene says and I feel goose bumps form on my arm. "So, Lily?"
"Lily got stuck," I manage out.
"Stuck?" Marlene asks, raising her eyebrows.
"Well when the Three Broomsticks broke together, pieces of the walls buried some people under –"
"Oh my god! Lily is stuck under the Three Broomstick?" Marlene all but screams out.
"It's not as bad as it seems, Mare is with her trying to wake her –"
"WAKE HER? She's unconsius?"
"Marlene, Lily is going to be fine," Alice manages up and reaches for Marlene's hand but she pulls it back.
"I'm gonna go and find her and find Sirius – he's probably.. oh god.. no.."
"What?" I ask and this time I reach for her hand and this time I get it and stop her from moving.
"Sirius said that he thought Bella was with them," Marlene lowers her voice so only we can hear.
"… His cousin?" again the familiar feeling of goose bumps forming fills my arms. "That is so not good. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK!" I swear, knowing Sirius if he thinks any of his family members are around, he has gone to look for them. There is not a doubt about that.
Emmeline Vance.
I've got to admit that the "fight" or attack, or whatever, scares me a lot, but it seems to not affect Desire or Valerie or Narcissa for the matter at all.
"Guys, shouldn't we go and find the rest of the school?" I say worried.
Desiree shrugs. "Naw, the death eaters wont hurt us…"
"Yeah, but maybe we should though," Narcissa agrees with me "I mean the teachers may notice we're not there and make a big deal about it and we' might get in trouble and we can't afford that if our plan is going to work…"
"She's right," Valerie sighs "We shall look for professors then."
I'm rather happy they changed their minds and stick close to them as we walk together in our search for the others.
"Wow, they've really ruined the Three Broomsticks haven't they?" Valerie's eyes grow big as she pointed at what the big building The Three Broomstick used to be.
"Oh my god," I manage out.
It's amazing to look at this and then to look at how we all got away without a scratch from the Death Eaters, but something inside me tells me that's not a coincidence judging by how calm all the Slytherin girls are.
"Help"
One little word is what gets me to stop in my steps.
"Did you hear that?" I ask and nudge Valerie
"Hear what? Common Em, lets find the others," she says and tries to pull me forward.
"I think there is someone trapped under there," I exclaim. "You guys go and get help I'm going to –"
"Em, don't be silly, if there is anyone there they will be found."
"Someone please," the voice manages out again.
"No. I am not leaving, I'm going to find out who this is." I have no idea where I'm getting this courage from but I just know I can't leave a person buried under all that. "Val, get help NOW!" I order angrily and my friend that sends me a tired look before she nods and puls Desiree and Narcissa way with her.
"Talk again!" I order to the voice "I'll find you! I promise."
"Please,"
I listen to the voice carefully and then I see it a strand of reddish brown hair.
I run towards the hair and push what seems to be a table as hard as I can away from it, but nothing happens.
"Are you okay?" I ask the person that's trapped under the table, who gives a whimper as an answer.
"What's your name?" I continue, knowing I should talk to the person as I try to get her out to calm her down.
"B-Blaire," she manages out.
"Vandever?" My eyes grow big. Blaire Vandever?
"Mhm,"
"Oh godric, its me Emmeline, no worries Blaire I'll get you out."
I'm not sure if I'm doing this to help Blaire or doing this for Remus but I try, I push on the table but it won't move.
"Move!" I screams frustrated as I push with all my might and suddenly there's a movement and the table falls forward, dragging me with it a bit so I end on top of Blaire.
Shooting off her I jump back and then I look over at where she lies on the floor, her left leg stands uncomfortable much into the air, her bone standing out just above her knee.
"Emmeline?" she manages up "Am I okay?"
"You're fine," I swallow the lump in my throat as I lie. "There are people getting help, so just lay still and talk to me okay.. Do you remember what happened?"
"Well Remus and I –" she stops, her face paling. "Oh my god! Remus-"
"Remus is fine I'm sure," I cut her off not wanting her to get worried.
"Are you sure?"
I nod, even though I have no idea.
"Oh…Ohkay.. Uhm.. we were going to meet up with his friends.. and then everything just collapsed."
"But you're okay now," I says softly, that being the only thing that comes to mind. "You should try not to move though, but is there anything I can do for you? Let me do this-" I dress quickly out of my jacket and wrap it together and softly lift up her head.
"Ow," she mumbles out.
"This better?" I ask and let her head slowly fall on the jacket.
"Thanks yes,"
We sit in silence for a moment as we wait for someone to come and help her.
Suddenly I hear her whimper, I look at her and see her eyes are closed.
"Blaire, everything okay?"
She doesn't answer.
"Blaire? Blaire?" I try again but again she does nothing.
"BLAIRE!" I boom out and nudge her with my arm but she doesn't make a sound or a move.
This is it; there is something defiantly wrong now.
I stare around me afraid – but there is no one around.
"SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US!" I scream up as loud as my voice lets me.
But there is no answer.
This is it.
A/N: MORE MIND FUCK.
WARNING LONG A/N:
If I ever finish this story, which knowing me can easily NOT happen .. haha, then I have this idea for a Lily and James story that I have promised my self not to write until I've finished this one, so that is just a far away dream, because I have plenty of chapters left of this story, I hope that's good (x Anyways yeah, you must be used to it now that my A/N get rather random so… Oh oh oh oh oh !
Anyways….
What is the next step to do, you might ask your self (go a head ASK IT) – well MY next step is to relax and then write a whole other 6 pages or more long chapter but YOUR step (which is far more easier than mine…) is to click that little review button over there and leave me one review and THEN you can relax and just wait for the next chapter relaaaaaxing… doesn't that sound nice? Nice nice nice? Yes it is nice! So you should totally do that!
My not so nice reason why you should review: If you don't I'll beat you in the face with a levi board! (if you don't know what it is, just know this: You should fear it)
